Anderson AW et al. - Periprosthetic patellar fracture with marked loss of bone stock presents a significant problem in total knee arthroplasty. Three Steinmann pins were used to reduce the patella and form scaffold for bone graft and a patellar button was cemented into the construct. At 7 years followup, the patient has maintained excellent range of motion, reports no knee pain, has healed the patella fracture, and has restored patellar bone stock.
